[QUOTE=wayoutz;1487579]Well I gave it to a mechanic that thought the wax plugs should have been pulled out rather than pushed in and cracked one of the fill holes

The reproduction battery tops are not the same as originals(they take a 30% deduct in NCRS), they show divisions between the cells in the actual molded plastic.

If one of the holes is cracked then just gut the battery and put a braille inside of it...

I had considered just gutting mine before putting acid in it, but then numerous people said I should just use the battery until it stops working then gut it and put a braille inside of it... so it's now been working great for over a year.
